Any fans of 'The Far Side' here?

What are your faves? One that cracked me up has an Indian snake charmer performing in front of a crowd. He's playing the flute and the snake has popped his head out of the basket as the performance requires. However, the snake is wearing a Groucho Marx mask, and the snake charmer is thinking: 'I'll get him for this' as he plays. Does this kind of humour translate into words, or is it necessary to see the cartoon itself for it to be funny?

I loved "How Birds See the World"...everbody walking around with targets on their heads. Also the one with the two bears side by side. One is in the crosshairs but he's pointing to his buddy! And the many faces of an Irish Setter....a lot of panes, all the same😵😵

2 guys in a rubber raft in the ocean... One guy is shaking a can.

"Ok, You want the Last Soda!!! Let me get it ready for you!!!"

2 guys with Tubas in an old west saloon.

"I hear you fancy yourself a Tuba Player."

2 Snakes near the leg of a hiker with a bunch of snake bites all over it. One Snake says, "Excuse me? I believe MINE are the biggest fang marks".

One big bear and 2 cubs. The bear has a skull on each of his paws like puppets, the skulls have hunter caps on them.

The bear says, "Ok, one more time and it's off to bed. 'Hey Joe, you think there are any old bears in this cave?'

'I don't know, lets take a look'".

Ug, did I forget any?

P-

Two deer grazing side by side in a meadow. One of the deer has target rings with the scoring numbers on the roundels complete with a big '10' in the middle, on its chest. The other deer says " bummer of a birth mark Thelma"

A Far Side calender on my desk and a new theme every day.

Bang! skeeter

Kid in classroom raising his hand, "May I be excused? My brain is full."

One I've seen has a 'School for the Gifted', and a child pushing as hard as he can on the front door. The door is marked 'Pull'.

I like "Thag shows off his Swiss-army rock." The picture is Thag (a caveman obviously) holding a rock in his open hand attached to which, by sticks, are 3 smaller rocks. His mates are all stood around going "ooo!".

2 Construction workers sitting way up on a building's frame works, eating lunch. One has a crazy look in his eye as the other chews an sandwich.

"You ever get that urge, Frank? It begins with looking down from 50 Stories up, thinking about the meaninglessness of life, listening to the dark voices deep inside you, and you think 'Should I?... Should I?... Should I push someone off?'"

😲

There is a clown in full outfit in a room full of expensive looking machines, about to press a large red button marked "Do Not Push". One of the scientists in the background is shouting "What's that clown doing?".

Also like the one with the cows in a field stood on their hind legs having a conversation with one of them stood by the fence shouting "CAR!". The next picture is them on all fours going "Moo!" as the car drives past.

To be honest, there are too many great ones to mention, and words don't do them justice.

Two Lions overlooking some wildebeast, one says to the other,' I'm sick of this 'elderly and sick' nonsense, I want something in it's prime'

Not sure if i got the words right, but you get my meaning...

Two guys in a lighthouse watching a caped man flying around outside. 'Kill the lights, Murray, he's back again!'

A woman on the telephone inside her house. Outside a large window lies an unconscious man dressed like Peter Pan. 'Gee, that must have been a large bird...'

The one where the guy sits in the airplane, looks at the weird looking guy next to him and thinks "Dang, why do I always sit next to the weirdo's". Meanwhile, there is still one seat free on the plane and this massive hidious guy is just about to take up the other seat next to him.

Otherwise my favourite is the one where a Polar Bear (trying to look inconspicious) is seated on a small block of ice in the middle of the Ocean surrounded by penguins. The the one penguin sais to the other one "I dont know whats going on Marv, but every day it seems as if there are less of us here" .. or something to that effect.

Old west scene, a gun fighter has a pie on his face holding a smoking gun. There is a clown laying in the street and a couple people in the distance pointing.

"I was over. But the way the townsfolk called it, neither man was a clear winner".

I've always thought the one was hilarious where there was a penguin presumably at the south pole, ice in all directions and the penguin has slipped over on a banana skin 🙂
